If you're in Brisbane, taking a stroll down to Howard Smith Wharves and grabbing a beer at Felons Brewing Co is an absolute must. It is just so relaxing! ​Unbeatable Under-Bridge Views: The location is simply spectacular, situated directly beneath the magnificent Story Bridge. Sitting in the outdoor area, you get an incredible upward view of the massive steel structure, perfectly paired with wide-open views of the Brisbane River. ​A Relaxing Drink with a View: Getting a refreshing pint of beer or a beautiful pink seltzer and just leaning against the wooden railing to admire the bridge and water is the ultimate chill experience. ​Vibrant Weekend Atmosphere: We visited on a holiday/weekend, and the place was absolutely bustling. The long outdoor deck was filled with people soaking in the breeze and the lively energy. Despite the crowd, it maintained a very relaxed, quintessentially Australian laid-back vibe. ​If you love a great social atmosphere paired with stunning riverside and architectural views, you cannot miss this spot!

If you want to take photos of the bridge while on the boat, please stay seated. Don't stand up to take pictures, or the boat driver will definitely come over to warn you. It’s much better to just sit back, be calm, and enjoy the view

Walking over the Story Bridge is a must-do Brisbane experience. The views are absolutely stunning, especially at sunrise or sunset, with the city skyline, river, and surrounds all on full display. It’s an easy, well-maintained walk and feels safe, with plenty of space to stop and take photos along the way. Whether you’re a local or visiting Brisbane, it’s a simple way to soak in the atmosphere and appreciate the city from a different perspective. Highly recommend adding it to your walk list.

An absolute icon of the Brisbane skyline! We visited at sunset and the views from the bridge are unmatched. Whether you are doing the official Adventure Climb or just walking across the pedestrian path for free, it's a 10/10 experience. The bridge looks incredible when lit up at night. Highly recommend walking from Fortitude Valley over to Kangaroo Point for the best photos of the CBD.

We went on an evening cruise and the view of the bridge was absolutely beautiful. The lights in the evening create a perfect atmosphere, and it’s an excellent spot for taking photos. A truly memorable experience and a great way to enjoy the city scenery. Highly recommended.
